Utilities

No smoking is allowed in any AHEC apartment.  No pets or family members/friends are allowed to stay over night.  The apartments are drug-free environments.  Your signature on the Statewide AHEC Student Housing Agreement ensures your acknowledgement and agreement to these restrictions.

Please use common courtesy.  Do not have loud conversations or music in the house/apartment or in the parking lot.  Do not inconvenience your roommates.  Be friendly and considerate of your housemates and neighbors.  Negative complaints from the neighbors could result in our future inability to provide student housing.
